Let’s Talk Fertilizer & Schedule ( again)

My plant and fish order arrived over the last few days ( first time purchasing either online ) The fish order was actually impressive. The plants not so much, They sent me a mixed bag due to lack of product however they are suppose to be getting back to me with what they swapped for what.
I went ahead and gave away two obvious swords. I did pull my original and replace it with one I liked better.
I am gonna leave things for now and just watch. Unless you guys spot anything that needs to go or be moved.
So far numbers look stable and no crazy fluctuations in numbers. Here are some pics ( the crypts from the friend will be here next week.

I like your taste in ornaments ! Did you also get some new ones? Move the sword from the back glass to the center of the tank, that is the only place for it really. You have a bunch of stem plants on the right which are too close, move those stems apart.

Thanks ! I did grab a couple new pieces in prepping for the pair of blue rams I ordered. plus my free floating Barcopa are doing really well so when the planted ones get too tall I have been sticking the trimmings into the cube in the back :)
One of the stems on the right was a new bunch and I was able to split them up and slightly move a couple of the others that I already had , but it has baby shoots running so I didn’t wanna disturb it too much. The sword was an easy move. Thanks again!

Unless this is the plant you meant I should move? ( is it a sword too? It’s roots are more centered but the temporary weight has it leaning a bit towards the back. ) moving it could get tricky with the smaller one in the middle huh?

Crud I forgot to add I did hear back from the seller
“we had to substitute the pinnafitida we sent you an anacharis instead” ?

I didn't see that one, but like all stem plants don't plant them like they were shipped, they weren't grown that way. Peel the stem plants apart, or they will loose their bottom leaves very quickly.

I like it so far but want to see the crypts from your friend! I think the plant in the top of the head is an anubias maybe barteri. Wasn't that 1 of your choices?
Yes the one on top is the new Anubis ( it’s just stuck in the top not attached as of yet. ) the ones in the back towards the sides were a swap buy the seller, but it appears I’ve benefited from the product running out because I got a much less demanding plant swapped.
